Unable to Open Vox. File _ PA @Unreal #125

Closed TommyAllen123 closed 1 year ago

TommyAllen123 commented 1 year ago

Hi there I've used the following Programs to open the Vox. File Project Acoustics creates in preperation for the Local Bake.

Slab6 Blender MagicaVoxel

Im not sure if this is a feature where the Voxelized Geometery is unreadable. Or I am doing something wrong.

What I've tried,

  1. Opening file from file from original location
  2. Opening a renamed & copied version from desktop
  3. Dragging and dropping/ Importing
  4. Pasting the file into native location of program folder and then opening up the file.

What usually happens is. MagicaVoxel - does nothing, just staya as picture of a cube Blender - Nothing, One time it opening up something that didnt resemble the geometry Slab6 - Black screen, no loading.

It would be great to view the voxelized geometry in another program to double check, and edit/simplify with out needing to go in game.

OR create a game backwards, that sounds acoustically great.

Any help Greatly appreicated :)

Hi there! Our .vox file is a proprietary binary format that isn't compatible with your typical 3D modeling software. The easiest way to view the voxels is with our provided game engine plugins. That said, if you really wanted to, you could write your own vox file viewer by using the game plugin code as sample code for querying the contents of the .vox file.
